Feedback: Listener Loves WEKU, says Streaming is Unreliable

We received a nice compliment along with a question from Stan, in Lexington. He says by e-mail, “I love WEKU. I listen to WEKU in my car, at my bedside table(alarm clock) and it is #1 in my car and my wife’s car, I have also been listening to it in my office via streaming on the computer. And Like I said “until recently” because for some reason the listening app is not working properly”

We wrote back to Stan and he clarified that the issue is with the web stream on his desktop computer. We’re not quite sure what’s happening but we’ll look into it this week, after the holiday. Meanwhile, we’re wondering if anyone else is having this problem and can help us figure out when and eventually why. Stay tuned for our contact information.

Karen, from Hazard, posted a note on Facebook, saying, “Thank you for your special coverage of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. I was not near a television & really appreciated being able to hear it on the radio.”

And here’s a call to the listener comment line from yet another fan of our music station in the Lexington area, Classic 102.1. She says, "I listen daily to your station and I congratulate you for having the courage, the strength and the insight to have this program coming through this station." The caller went on to tell us to keep it on the air.

We invite you to send or call in your comments about our programming, news, even technical issues.

Jean e-mailed us from Houston, Texas with the following question, “What is wrong with your listener app? It keeps cutting out. Trying to stay with the times the more cumbersome streaming sign-on works better on my iPhone.”

Several of you notified us of a problem with our signal on our sister station Classic 102.1. Luckily we were able to fix the problem by the afternoon – we appreciate the heads-up via Facebook and our listener comment line.

John, from Pikeville, wrote about an On Point show he heard this week. “I listened with disgust to the interview yesterday of Rand Paul by John Harwood. The interviewer seemed to have a preconceived opinion of Mr. Paul.

On the Listener Comment Line, a gentleman called who didn’t leave a name or callback information. As a result, we can’t use his voice on the air but we can say that he is in general a fan and supporter of WEKU but not of our Friday or Saturday night programming or of Radio Lab. In fact, he says he tuned in to the show once and thought he had gotten another station. He described Radiolab as “so far out, he thought he was on another planet.”
